Taking a Ride on the REAL Reading

Share Your Prototype Photos

What's the difference between a GP40-2 and GP39-2? What year did the Reading dieselize? How many tracks were in Rutherford Yard? This board focuses on a discussion of questions or issues concerning the "prototype" Reading Company and its predecessors. While the aim of this board is to serve as a resource for prototype information for modeling purposes, general discussion and sharing of knowledge is also encouraged.

Thank you received: 17

Bill-thanks so much for the posts-you guys that lived up in REAL Rdg territory had it made compared to us Philly area guys.. I saw lots of Rdg tracks up your way, but trains were another story! Only time I got lucky was at West Milton where my Dad had enough of I-80 one day and we got off to eat! The shot of the SW1200 is the result...All you folks like RdgRailDog, you, the others from up there
were indeed blessed to see what you did, pictures or no pictures (I'm not complaining about Abrams or Darby Creek, just musing...)

There was lots of action on the East Penn and Reading Belt branches that passed by while I was working. As a bid fan of the little end-cab locos, I wish I had spent more time in Philly before 1976.
